Have an old pickup that is dead? Want to hot rod an existing pickup in your guitar? Our pickup rewinding and repair service will fix the problem and get the pickup back to the specs or the sound you are looking for.

We will also replace worn parts on request, add a metal cover or new magnet if you want.

We can rewind old pickups to stock specs, or slightly under or over wind them depending on your tastes. Rewinding pickups saves a little money over the cost of new pickups especially if you want a new sound or need to replace a vintage pickup. In some cases, we may not need to completely rewind the old pickup and may be able to use the existing wire. We will make sure the pickup is true to it's vintage specs and materials. In the case of vintage pickups we will make efforts to use the existing wire on request, but the costs will be larger than those listed on this page. Please contact us with any questions.
